Alexandro pointed you at some possibly helpful sources. Please let me
add that in case you get your own translation/filter running we would
like to add this to the OOo project as a new filter in the same way we
did with the amazing MediaWiki translation from haui. You also could
provide it as an extension. In case you needed help to create an
extension please ask on the openoffice.org mailin list.

Best regards,
Mathias

[discuss] OpalOffice

Posted: 18 Sep 2007 12:57 PM PDT

Point is that the GPL requires that access to the source code is made
available and obvious - the LGPL, i think, is not so strict.

That said, i'm sure that the rebranding to OpalOffice is grounds for
some kind of action, does that count as a 'derivative work'...

Can someone else please read the LGPL and come to a independent
judgement on this! These guys are giving us a bad press!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve,
The print preview in writer appears in the drop-down "File" menu, when you are using writer in the print view. It is labeled as "page view" and should be there if you are using the default settings for tool bar and button options. If it is not there already, Check to make sure you "view" is set to "print" mode. If it isn't there, and you are using the print view you can add it from Tools>customize>menus, Find and select the function you want to add to the menu, and then click add.
(these instructions are for the windows version of openoffice.org.)

We (the Writer developers) will not implement a Grammar Checker
ourselves (that's not our area of expertise). But we hope to work
together with the "Language tool" people. Currently this is an OOo
extension that can check Writer documents against a set of defined rules
(not only Grammar). Our new Grammar Checker API will allow to integrate
with OOo much better. Perhaps we can also integrate a nice user
interface to create new rules. I'm also currently trying to get in touch
with other free software developers providing applications for text
checking (especially Grammar Checking). Let's see what will come out of
this.
 

No, it will be 3.0 or 3.1 (depending on how much work it is).

Microsoft Shift Asserts

Posted: 18 Jan 2008 05:51 AM PST

com wrote:
 

Asserts are placed in software to assist its developer, often as a
testing mechanism to alert them that something is wrong. For example, an
assert may be placed in a section of code that's never suppose to be
triggered. But if the assert is triggered then something went wrong.

SQM, which is the name of the server you're seeing, stands for Software
Quality Management.

What you're seeing is most likely the result of you having said "Yes" to
the question during your installation that asked, "Are you willing to
participate in the customer experience improvement program?"
<http://www.microsoft.com/products/ceip/en-en/default.mspx>

This is an anonymous program where you allow your software to send
Microsoft feedback about how it's doing. It should never transmit
anything personally identifying about you or any information that you
are creating but if you're uncomfortable you can disable this in any
Office 2008 application's preferences under "Feedback".

Hope this helps!

Problems printing from Office with Leopard

Same problem here. We discussed this issue in the Apple Discussion Forums at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6374169, but nobody found an acceptable solution yet. As noted there, this is an issue Microsoft did already confirm but didn't supply a fix until today. Of course we thought, the problem won't be there anymore in Office 2008 but we were obviously wrong... if we can't print with Office, it is just useless.

Excel 2008 cannot open xlsx and xlsb filescreated by Excel 2007 for PC

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 01:59 PM PST

Concerning the problematic Excel files, there are no macros, VBA scripts, ActiveX Controls, etc. in those files. There are, however, two charts on one of the spreadsheets contained within.

I tried to use the converter, "Office Open XML Converter.app", on the files, at the request of Microsoft's technical support while I had them on the phone, but the converter responded, "Incompatible file type".

Even if I could convert those Workbook files to, say, Excel 2004 format, they would be altered substantially, since there are 400 columns in one of the spreadsheets contained within. By the way, before adding columns to them,, I used to open those files in Excel 2004 without incident, i.e. the only difference between those files and versions of those files that I used to work with in Excel 2004 is that these latest versions have about 150 extra columns in one of the spreadsheets contained within.

MS Word 2008 student edition keeps crashing

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 12:20 PM PST

Thank you for your advice, John -- but so far it hasn't worked.

When I originally installed Office 2008, it removed my old Office X. All the new programs worked great except Word, and when it kept crashing, I re-installed my old Word X just to get my work done.

So when I read your post and tried to follow those directions, the only "Normal" template I could find in my whole system was in the old Office X Templates folder. There is no such folder in my Office 2008. I went ahead and opened up Word 2008 then quit as you advised, it said it was saving the Normal template, and quit normally -- then gave me the same error message. I launched it again and tried opening an older Word file, and it crashed again.

I've also tried installing this on another computer, and same issues -- all other programs work well, but Word keeps crashing.

Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

Novell products should never be put on an Exchange server because they

"Hidden" table wont delete

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 01:09 PM PDT

I have a large document that was originally created in word 2010, and having been editing it for some time in 2013.

I recently moved a table by selecting it, cutting and then pasting it in a new position, there are two tables below the original position of the table that was moved - thus there is now a paragraph of text followed by a table that used to have another table between.

However, in the space between the paragraph and remaining table, there is a paragraph break that will not delete, and there is no paragraph break symbol at the end of the text of the paragraph.
When I use the arrow keys to move the cursor of the end of the text, expecting it to go to the below paragraph break mark and then the remaining table it just disappears! If I keep moving it the ribbon bar and tab marks act as if the cursor was in a table before it eventually reappears at the stubborn paragraph mark...

i.e.

there is some paragraph text here. (<word acts as if there is a table here)
IP (<this wont delete)
*Remaining-table-here*

I have tried running the cursor into the "hidden" table and then selecting delete table from the table tools layout tab, but nothing happens.
I have tried running the cursor from one side of the hidden table to the other with the shift key pressed, to select the hidden table and so delete it but when I do this the select starts with the cursor - but then starts selecting halfway down the page below and moving back UP the page - even though I still have the right arrow key pressed down!!

How can I delete this paragraph mark and hidden table?!?

Editing SmartArt in an unprotected section of a protected document

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 12:33 PM PDT

End State:

In Word 2007 [edit:  I have confirmed this is also the case for Word 2010 and Word 2013], I am attempting to create a template for a form, for other users to fill out.  I would like users to be able to enter text into boxes in the form.  Elsewhere in the document, I would like users to edit a SmartArt organization chart.

 

Statement of Problem:

The document is partitioned into sections.  I have selectively protected the sections with the text-entry boxes, and left unprotected the sections where the SmartArt organization charts belong.  However, contrary to expectations and documentation, when the protection is enforced, the user cannot add SmartArt, or make certain modifications to existing SmartArt, in the allegedly-unprotected sections.

 

Specifically, the right-click menus on the organization chart are limited to Cut/Copy/Paste/Font.  The Add Shape option is greyed out.  The user can change the text written in existing boxes, but cannot delete existing or add additional boxes.  On the Ribbon, the SmartArt option is greyed out.

 

To Reproduce:

In Word 2007, create a document.  In the first line, type "Rich Text control box here:  ".  In the Developer tab, Controls group, select Rich Text.  Press the right arrow to move the selection off of the Rich Text control.  From the Page Layout tab, Page Setup group, Breaks dropdown, choose Section Breaks / Next Page.  From the Insert tab, Illustrations group, select SmartArt.  Choose Hierarchy / Organization Chart.

 

On the Developer tab, Protect group, select Protect Document / Restrict Formatting and Editing.  Check the box for "Allow only this type of editing in the document:".  Choose the option "Filling in forms" from the dropdown.  Click the hyperlink for "Select sections...".  Uncheck the box next to Section 2, leaving Section 1  checked, and click OK.  Press the button "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection"  Do not enter a password, and press OK.

 

Check that the user can enter information into the rich text control box (you should be able to), but are unable to edit the label next to the box (you should not be able to).  Now scroll down to the second page, and attempt to edit the SmartArt, or to add new SmartArt.  You will not be able to edit the SmartArt or insert new SmartArt, even though it is allegedly unprotected.  However, you will be able to add text to your heart's content in the unprotected section.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

cant save .DCOM files in word 2010. Save as box keeps re-appearing. Original .DCOM file was created in word 2007.

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:51 AM PDT

Original file works OK and saves OK in word 2007. But when opening in word 2010 I click on protected mode or order to use the macros and it says compatability mode in the top line. I then try to make changes in the document by typing something, and try to save it but comes up with the save as dialog box. And when I try to save the save as dialog box re-appears and this keeps happening even if I chnage the file name and location. This issue happens on any machine with word 2010.

Location of Styles for Word 2010

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:50 AM PDT

I am increasingly irritated by the fact that the Styles dropdown menu on my QAT, as well as the window that pops up when I press Ctrl+Alt+Shft+S, won't display the different options for styles. Now when I access the Home ribbon, I can see all the styles available there, and hovering over them, will make the selected text change to that particular style. But I'm used to using Styles from the QAT, and don't like the fact that I can't.

I'm wondering if I can move the location of teh Styles, so that Word will have to look elsewhere for them. I looked in the file locations, but didn't see anything for Styles.

Is there a way I can (a) move the styles to a different folder, and then (b) direct Word to look in that new location?

force content control update

Thanks in advance,

You might want to also check some of the Word 2003 topic areas dealing with
Digital Rights Management. I understand the ability to control who does
what to documents is one of the features greatly enhanced in Office 2003
Professional edition and above.

Ultimately though (and this is relevant to Project which is why I'm replying
in group, guys) the appropriate use of documents, be they Word files or
Project plans, is a training issue - employees need to be taught what are
and what are not appropriate uses of information and files and who is
allowed to change what. Official organization policy documents need to be
drafted and circulated so everyone knows clearly what is and is not
acceptable and training programs put in place to make sure everyone gets the
word.

Thanks, Jan. I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Indenting

I don't think that you can show the "eday" equivalent for a summary task.
You can use a custom field to display this though. Just put use a spare text
field and use this formula:

datediff("d",[Start],[Finish])

Start/Finish Vs Actual Start/Finish

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 06:32 AM PDT

Store your "planned" dates in a baseline.
Start and Finish are really "current" rather than planned. As you have seen
they show what the current start and finish are so for tasks that are
completed they should show the actual date.

If you save a baseline (tools menu / tracking / save baseline) then you can
find the planned start and finish in baseline start and baseline finish.
You can use the tracking gantt view to display the current and baseline
dates.

Outdenting & Deleting Tasks

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 04:08 AM PDT

Hi,

You might have found the outdent bug described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;834684&Product=OffPr2003

I think the service pack fixes it; get it at the Office
update site:
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/default.aspx

I don't think there is a way to set the delete button to
remove the entire row. I'm fairly sure they changed it
because people were used to Excel, where delete would only
clear the cell. I don't see any options in the menus for
it either. The only option I can think of is to write a
small VBA script and bind it to a shortcut key.

HTH,
Jason

line? 

Split timeline?

Posted: 29 Jul 2004 11:26 AM PDT


Dan,
As far as a direct approach Jack is exactly right, but your scenario
requires some thinking outside the box. How about the following. Put the
first month's flurry of tasks in its own Project file, the 10 month slow
roll task in its own file and the last month's flurry in yet a third
file. External links can be used between files to maintain schedule
logic. You could also create a master file with all three inserted
subprojects however you will still face the timeline issue when viewing
the master. At least with three files, a timeline can be chosen that is
best suited for the ongoing activities.

An alternate off the wall approach might be to set up two custom views.
Once with a detail timescale for viewing tasks in the first and last
months and one with a gross timescale for viewing the 10 month period.

There are probably other ways to get there also. It depends on what you
want to see and do or should I say, what you are willing to see and do.

Just some thoughts, brought to you by the guy outside the box :-)

Fixing Start AND End Dates of tasks

Steve,
Yup, that is the other saying I thought of. But since our fellow MVPs
are international I'm not sure how many American sayings are universally
understood.

multiple rates per person possible?

Posted: 29 Jul 2004 07:59 AM PDT

Hi,

Just a few minutes ago I posted a little macro that transfers a resource
field into a cost rate table's standard cost.
See the heading "Entering Data into various cost tables"

Thanks Sean.

And is there a possibility to have holyday dates in Project, without using
outlook nor adding those by hand?

Thanks.

Crashes on save 90% of time

Posted: 27 Jul 2004 09:13 AM PDT

We had this same problem- One place to check is your
resource sheet- as we found a BUG , where several thousand
generic resources were getting auto-generated added into
this problem project- deleted those and the problem went
away!

Also, the task note on the Zero task line can only be 255
characters- this hangs up projects as well.

Hope this helps,
Jodi M

uurrr, yeah, y'know I have the funny feeling that the OP wasn't
talking about navigating documents in the GUI...

In fact refering to the navigator is even more useless since it only
encapsulates the functionality that the OP was referring to.

Hello Steven,

earlier this year there was a short discussion on the list.
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from=1672864
I'm not sure that you saw it.
I understand that the program is only available if you buy the support
see: http://www.ecomstation.com/openoffice.phtml
and: http://shop.mensys.nl/cgi-bin/db2www/mns_art2.d2w/report?catname=OpenOfficeOS2&username=&i1=&o=&x=02 :15:11&Search=ECOMSTATION&C=250

Maybe also take a look at Innotek (www.innotek.de) that made OOo for
Windows run on OS/2 with Odin. But they also send you back to Memsys
to buy the support package...
http://www.innotek.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemi d=47

The rationale for OOo on OS/2 not being free would be that there are
no volunteers working for this port.

No alan, unfortunately that is not the feature and since HTML emails
produce large security issues like phishing is not a good thing to
encourage this behavior. OpenOffice.org is not an email composer
application, writting emails on wordprocessors is not an advisable way to
do things according to the current stage of email threats. So why would we
want to contribute to this flaw?

On second thoughts, neither is helpful.

The proposed solution in Issue 46261 won't work.

This issue has zero votes, so I suspect that it will be ignored until it

I know of a couple of law firms that exclusively use OOo. I have no idea
how they deal with the TOA issue. ( I'd consider the inability of OOo to
create a TAO automatically would eliminate it from consideration in a
law office.)
